Good morning to all my Hive friends.
The lotus root, which grows in water, is a unique vegetable that transforms beautifully into a delicious dish. With its delicate texture, it is rich in vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, adding a touch of elegance to the dining table while supporting overall wellness. When cooked with aromatic spices and a creamy base—such as coconut milk—it delivers a perfect balance of flavor and nutrition. This dish not only delights the palate but also carries the cultural charm of a timeless ingredient used in many traditional Asian cuisines.

Next, finely chop the onion, garlic, green chilies, and tomatoes.
Next, place them in a cooking pot, add a little water and salt, and heat until boiled. Once boiled, remove from the stove.
Next, place another pan on the stove and add about two tablespoons of coconut oil. Once heated, add fenugreek seeds, garlic, and onion, and allow them to sauté slightly. Then add curry leaves, tomatoes, and green chilies, and mix well. Add the spices and let them sauté for a short while.
